About

At Core Paws, our goal and mission is to help rescues and shelters place their hardest cases in lifelong, loving homes. Founded in August 2014, Core Paws partners with animal rescues, shelters and municipal shelters to showcase their hardest cases on our website (www.corepaws.org). We run a Digital Advertising campaign with a $40,000/month spend alongside social media, email, and blog. Our main goal is to bring exposure and awareness to animals that are often times overlooked for a special need, behavioral issue, old age, and more. Our team is full of passionate professionals working together to utilize their skills to help as many hard-to-place homeless animals as possible. One of the largest initiatives of Core Paws is to support our partner shelters and rescues without a cost to them. This currently includes posting animals to our website, to social media channels, and promoting them through marketing activities.

Currently, fundraising is comprised of small events and social media campaigns, which helps to spread the reach of our movement for hard-to-place homeless animals and helps cover overhead expenses. Our future goal is to be able to have funds that would help our hardest animals get the care they need in order to be more adoptable (training, behavior consultations, pay for medicine, etc). For example, we recently completed an online fundraising campaign achieving our goal of raising $1,000 to help one of our Core Paws dogs, Odie, receive the behavioral consultation appointments he needed.

The Board of Directors is actively involved in expanding its fundraising efforts and is looking for a volunteer Fundraising Coordinator to assist with developing and implementing an annual fundraising plan. The plan will likely include event fundraising and fundraising for Core Paws funds that support not only our animals but also the people who care for them.
